Marchisio has a whole different role in 3-5-2 .
In 4-3-3 we had only one striker and 2 wide player on every side ( wingers and side defenders), So he was playing box to box and moving much closer to goal to cover the space behind our only forward. Now in 3-5-2 we have 2 forwards but only 1 wide player on every side. Now he is playing much deeper and closer to our box covering the space behind wingers and also creating space for Pirlo with his movement and support.

Last night game against Catania, we also had 29 shots and here is Marchisio heat map :
* Personally I don't think Marchisio is playing worse than before, he is just doing what coach is asking him.

this...did you see that action in the 2nd half in which he was in the same line with bonucci and pirlo was 10 meters from him, in the center of the field? this guy can't position himself very well in offensive actions, otherwise i can't seem to understand how come he doesn't have a influence in our offence. i've heard giacchs name 2x times more...
I don't think he took offensive roles as much as in the past, especially last night when there's Giaccherini who went gung ho all the time. Did you even notice that most of Catania's attacks has been from the right (Giach's side) in the 2nd half? (I didn't get to watch the first half) And Pirlo has been in line with CBs a couple times as well, that's no big deal. Our CBs has been playing quite a high line when we're in possesion.
Marchisio's main attraction has always been about offensive movements. Goals against Inter, Palermo, Parma, and Cesena are the proofs.

I hope you aren't talking about marchisio. Because he is a king in that. That is how he scores. but lately he isn't going forward so much (probably conte tells him that).

He should play an offensive role, so again, 4-3-3 is much more suited for him.
IMO our best trio is by far Marchisio - Pirlo - Vidal. Vidal's defensive workrate gives much more space for Marchisio to go in attack and do some magic, especially if he has Mirko on the left side.
What he did last night was decent at best, but I'd rather say poor-ish performance that has gotten better when Giaccherini started getting involved.

Against Catania, he played Vidal's role. First player to press, second passer in the team and sitting deeper in the attacking phase. Basically, the balance of the team (I don't see a particular need for a player like Marchisio to be so conservative against Catania, even with Giaccherini on the pitch, but that's just Conte's choices). And, Vidal's role or not, this system does not give him much space to work his magic. Plus, his prime fellas in the 4-3-3 for short passes and triangulations (Vucinic and Matri) are too damn far from him and it's impossible to do the same proccess with the LWB because that player has a lot defensive work to do.
Solid performance, nonetheless. Did his job.
